About our program

Mosquito Range Heritage Initiative works alongside public land partners to undertake trail maintenance and trail improvement projects across the district. Our crew works to address negative environmental side effects such as drainage issues, erosion, and social trail creation using USFS aligned trail maintenance techniques along with supporting trailhead improvements, restoration projects, watershed protection, and more!

​MRHI’s main stewardship partner is the USFS South Park Ranger District, working to maintain and improve district trails and trailheads. Our crews also work to support other partners such as Town of Alma, Mountain Area Land Trust, and are open to local partnership opportunities!
In the 2025 Season our crew achieved:
  • 74 miles of trail maintained
  • 307 trees cleared
  • 477 drains cleared/constructed
  • 1 new bridge constructed
  • 24 rock check steps set
  • 50ft turnpike installed
  • 1.82 miles of road reseeded and restored
  • 646 fire rings cleaned
  • 1.5 miles of old barbed fencing removed

Join our crew

Every summer we hire a professional seasonal trail crew of 4-8 people to undertake projects including clearing downed trees, undertaking erosion control. Our crews work everywhere from the Alpine to Forest to Grasslands to protect sensitive habitats from erosion and user impacts.
